    Calypso Bay, Jacobs Well

    Calypso Bay is a nautical themed playground in tribute to its position by the water and just down the street from the Calypso Bay Marina. Here you'll find a pirate ship brimming with bridges, wheels, slides and nets - be careful, you might even be asked to walk the plank! Underneath the pirate ship the imaginative play space is further extended, with a small shop counter set up, tunnel frames and other interactive game panels. You'll also find swings, spinners and a small motor boat in this huge playground.

Big trees giving lots of shade, play equipment catering for toddlers through to school kids and a lakeside walk mean this park is one for all!
